Wellesley beer update
We have an update from Wellesley resident and brewer Chris Mirick, whose gluten-free beer we wrote about in October (“Wellesley homebrewer: Don’t fear this gluten-free beer”).
His Ankleknocker Gluten Free Pale Ale has been launched commercially, and Ankleknocker is going to be a line of gluten free beers from Zelus Beer Co. in Medfield. Sherborn Wine & Spirits has begun carrying Ankleknocker, and other stores in the area should have it soon as well, Mirick says.
“We’re working on a summer ale next, as well as some other ideas. With the weather turning warmer and people wanting to get together and socialize as we come out of this long dark period, I’m excited to have a great gluten-free option out there!” he writes.
Bountiful will make a trip to you
Bountiful, the latest meal delivery service to include Wellesley on its roster of towns served, is ready, willing, and able to save residents time and energy on cooking dinner. The company prides itself on sourcing ingredients locally, providing reliably delicious dinner options, and offering an exciting and diverse rotation of menu items.
On their plates right now: shrimp tossed in panko and coconut then deep fried, served with grilled pineapple salad and a sweet and sour mai ploy dipping sauce; chickpea tikka masala slow roasted in a stew of fresh roma tomatoes and curry spice, mixed with roasted veggies and spooned over rice; watermelon and cucumber gazpacho; and more.
